What counts as adequate compliance evidence?

Adequate evidence includes timestamped records of who completed what task, when it was done, and supporting documentation. It should be immutable, traceable to the underlying policy, and exportable for examiner review.

Why can't we just use email as evidence?

Email lacks timestamps you control, can be easily modified, and doesn't create a structured audit trail. Examiners increasingly expect systematic evidence capture, not email chains.

How do we prove work was done on time?

Timestamped evidence capture at the moment of completion is the gold standard. Retroactive documentation raises questions about accuracy and completeness.

Compliance Challenge

Evidence Collection Nightmare

Compliance teams do excellent work every day—reviewing policies, completing training, monitoring transactions. But when it's time to prove that work happened, the evidence is scattered, incomplete, or non-existent. Screenshots, email confirmations, and manual logs don't create the audit trail examiners expect.

The Pain Points

•Evidence scattered across multiple systems

•No standardized evidence capture process

•Screenshots and emails aren't audit-grade

•Recreating evidence after the fact is risky

•Can't prove timing of completed work

The Real Cost

Examiner findings for insufficient documentation

Hours reconstructing audit trails

Credibility issues with regulators

Repeat work to re-document completed tasks

There's a Better Way

The best compliance programs capture evidence automatically at the moment work is completed—timestamped, linked to the policy, and ready for export.
